Landscape Drip Application GuideA Practical Guide for Designing and Installing Drip Irrigation Systems
The Intelligent Use of Water™
www.rainbird.com
The Rain Bird’s low volume irrigation products were coined with the phrase “Xerigation” in the 1990’s and include drip irrigation and low volume spray products. The Rain Bird Xerigation system is the most efficient way to water landscapes.
Over the last fifteen years, Rain Bird has been a leader in innovation advances that customers value. Earlier advances included the Xeri-PopTM, the first efficient low volume spray with a spray head that retracts out of sight, the self-cleaning back flush filter that reduces maintenance by automatically flushing out debris, and the PR Series Pressure Regulating Filter that combined the regulator and filter into one component reducing the potential for leaks.
Today, Rain Bird continues the tradition of innovation with the SQ Series Nozzle and the XF Series Dripline featured below. With the broadest product line, Rain Bird’s Xerigation systems can be designed to meet any site requirement providing unmatched quality, efficient water use, and ease of installation.
It is Rain Bird’s long-standing
commitment to engineering and
quality excellence that sets our
drip irrigation products apart.

Featured Rain Bird® Drip Products
For irrigating small areas with dense plantings, the SQ Series Nozzle is the most precise and efficient nozzle available. With built-in pressure compensation and a unique square spraying pattern, the need for overlapping is greatly reduced. This means less overspray, overwatering, and runoff than traditional nozzles. It also means you need less nozzles, dramatically reducing your costs and installation time.
The XF Series Dripline is the most flexible, pressure-compensating inline emitter tubing available. Its unique material offers significantly greater flexibility, allowing tighter turns with fewer elbows for easier installation. The dual-layered tubing (brown over black) provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, UV damage and algae growth.
Control your zones with preassembled, compact Rain Bird Control Zone Kits. Two components (valve and pressure regulating filter) are combined to create a shorter kit, when compared with the competition. This allows you to fit more control zone kits in a single valve box without cramping the work space inside the box, saving you time and money.

For precise water placement, a barbed connector can be punched into distribution tubing. The emitter is then placed at the end of the ¼” distribution tubing. NOTE: should the emitter become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.
The Xeri-Bird 8 provides a centralized location for up to eight emitters. A mix of Xeri-Bug and/ or PC emitters can be used to provide the flow rates needed for different plant materials. Tentacles of ¼” distribution tubing, ¼” tubing stakes, and bug caps allow for precise water placement.

The 6 Outlet Manifold provides a centralized water distribution connection for up to six emission devices. Connect the ¼” distribution tubing to one of the outlets. Use a ¼” tubing stake to ensure precise water placement. The emitter is placed on the end of the 1/4” distribution tubing to regulate the water flow. NOTE: should the emitter become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.

Pressure-Compensating ModulesBarb Inlet x Barb Outlet
Using a Xeriman Tool, insert the PC Module directly into drip tubing or between dripline emitters as needed. Use a PC Diffuser Cap to eliminate squirting.
For more precise water placement, use ¼” distribution tubing, a ¼” tubing stake, and a bug cap.
For precise water placement, a barbed connector can be punched into drip tubing. The PC Module with a PC Diffuser Cap is then placed at the end of the ¼" distribution tubing. NOTE: should the emitter become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.
The Xeri-Bird 8 provides a centralized location for up to eight emitters. A mix of Xeri-Bug emitters and/ or PC Modules can be used to provide the flow rates needed for different plant materials. Tentacles of ¼" distribution tubing, ¼” tubing stakes, and bug caps allow for precise water placement.

Product Guide
Use a PC Diffuser cap to eliminate squirting water when using a PC Module staked at the end of a 1/4” distribution tubing or on a PolyFlex Riser.
Rain Bird’s new heavy-duty pressure compensating bubblers are designed for a rugged environment. Offered in 5 gph, 7 gph, and 10 gph models, the bubbler style outlet and medium-flow options provide more flexibility for landscape layout. Its heavy-duty design is perfect for commercial applications. The 1⁄2” FPT threaded inlet makes these devices ideal for installations using a PVC pipe and schedule 80 risers.
Point-source medium-flow modules for watering larger shrubs and trees.
Pressure-Compensating Modules10-32 Thread Inlet x Barb Outlet
PC Diffuser
Pressure Compensating Threaded Bubblers
Use a 10-32 threaded emitter with a PolyFlex Riser for point-source applications in high foot traffic areas. (A pedestrian walking through a flower bed could pull up a staked emitter or otherwise cause misalignment of the ¼" distribution tubing. If they stepped on a PolyFlex Riser, the emitter would stay in place.)
